Default HID headlight

I think I am going to switch to HID headlight, the stock one just doesn't provide enough lighting at night.

any one here knows a good place to order these HIDs with a reasonable price?

ddmtuning.com is where I got mine from. Took about 2-3 weeks to get here, but the $50 with shipping to Canada cant be beat! Plug and play install and provides a s*** ton of extra light. Well worth the money and time. You can get the same kit locally but are going to pay extra for the convenience.

Ddm is well priced and has some good reviews from everywhere I've seen them mentioned (other fourms) I went expensive and use the expensive store (sorry for the play in the name)

sweet...I have heard good things about ddm HID kits. Now, where did you hide the ballast? Does the kit come with a relay or no?

I'm currently in the works on putting mine in and I have asked myself the same question

I replaced my windscreen at the same time so I hid my ballast behind the instrument cluster. If you take your screen off there is a big space to slip it in then put the screen back on and no more ballast! Can't even tell its there once the screen is back in and the wiring runs behind your duct covers for the perfect install.

Ebay will suffice. Its the same units that ddm offers, but usually cheaper. If you can get them around the same price, go with ddm. They supposedly have a warranty.

I've purchased kits for both my car, and bike from Best HID Kits, HID Headlights online shopping, LCD Projector/Tattoo Kits/CCTV Systems for sale. Both times they were at my door (Ontario, Canada) within a few days.

Prices are good as well. I haven't had a chance to "use " the kit for the bike yet, but I got a few years trouble free from the car kit, before I sold the car.

$60 shipped for a pair of HIDs (digital slim H4-2) . One for the bike, and a complete spare on hand if I run into trouble

Why do you need a relay? Do you have a dual headlight conversion?
